Fisherman's Jumpers

What is a Fisherman's Jumper?

Fisherman's Jumpers are an icon of British coastal clothing, thought to date back to the 1800s. Typically a very hardy, durable knitted sweater that prioritises warmth and weatherproof qualities, its original purpose was to be a highly functional garment to protect those at sea. Fisherman's Jumpers are sometimes knitted from untreated wool that retains natural oils for added insulation. Also known as Aran of Guernsey jumpers depending on where in the UK you are.
